Inhibition of angiogenesis in endothelial cells by Human Lysyl oxidase propeptide.

ABSTRACT: Angiogenesis is a critical process involved in normal physiology. Pathological angiogenesis is observed in vascular diseases and neoplasia. The propeptide domain of LOX (LOX-PP) has been shown to inhibit tumorigenesis in various cancers. In this study, we explored the role of both overexpressed and recombinant LOX-PP in naïve human umbilical vein endothelial cell with the addition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Primarily, we observed a significant reduction in the angiogenesis signaling pathways upon LOX-PP overexpression by proteomic analysis. Further functional analysis showed that the VEGF induced cell proliferation, migration, adhesion and tube formation was inhibited by LOX-PP. Moreover, LOX-PP arrested cells at S-phase, reduced F-actin levels and decreased phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK). The anti-angiogenic effect of LOX-PP was further confirmed by the reduction in the vascular network formation in chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM). These results indicate that inhibition of angiogenesis events is not only achieved by overexpressing LOX-PP but also by addition of rLOX-PP. Taken together our findings discovered the anti-angiogenic role of LOX-PP in endothelial cells which suggests that harnessing this potential can be a promising strategy to inhibit angiogenesis.

Project description:The lysyl oxidase gene inhibits Ras signaling in transformed fibroblasts and breast cancer cells. Its activity was mapped to the 162 amino acid propeptide domain (LOX-PP) of the lysyl oxidase precursor protein. LOX-PP inhibited the Her-2/Ras signaling axis in breast cancer cells, and reduced the Her-2-driven breast tumor burden in a xenograft model. Since its mechanism of action is largely unknown, co-affinity-purification/mass spectrometry was performed and the "Cbl-interacting protein of 85-kDa" (CIN85) identified as an associating protein. CIN85 is an SH3-containing adapter protein that is overexpressed in invasive breast cancers. The CIN85 SH3 domains interact with c-Cbl, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, via an unconventional PxxxPR ligand sequence, with the highest affinity displayed by the SH3-B domain. Interaction with CIN85 recruits c-Cbl to the AMAP1 complex where its ubiquitination activity is necessary for cancer cells to develop an invasive phenotype and to degrade the matrix. Direct interaction of LOX-PP with CIN85 was confirmed using co-immunoprecipitation analysis of lysates from breast cancer cells and of purified expressed proteins. CIN85 interaction with c-Cbl was reduced by LOX-PP. Domain specific CIN85 regions and deletion mutants of LOX-PP were prepared and used to map the sites of interaction to the SH3-B domain of CIN85 and to an epitope encompassing amino acids 111 to 116 of LOX-PP. Specific LOX-PP point mutant proteins P111A and R116A failed to interact with CIN85 or to compete for CIN85 binding with c-Cbl. Structural modeling identified a new atypical PxpxxRh SH3-binding motif in this region of LOX-PP. The LOX-PP interaction with CIN85 was shown to reduce the invasive phenotype of breast cancer cells, including their ability to degrade the surrounding extracellular matrix and for Matrigel outgrowth. Thus, LOX-PP interacts with CIN85 via a novel SH3-binding motif and this association reduces CIN85-promoted invasion by breast cancer cells.
